Madeleine Bordallo: “I am disappointed that we haven't had a more robust discussion on how we can solve sequestration.”

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You always make my day.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And I hope you don't extract this from my 5 minutes, but there is a native of Guam in the audience today, and I am very proud of her.

I am concerned that in a year where readiness has been cited as the Department's top priority, the Department's budget request falls well short of meeting the total depot maintenance requirement for the Army and the Marine Corps.

I look forward to hearing how you believe it will be different this time.
